<H2>DIR List Files Function

Section: <A HREF=sec_os.html> Operating System Functions </A>
<H3>Usage</H3>
In some versions of FreeMat (pre 3.1), the <code>dir</code> function was aliased
to the <code>ls</code> function. Starting with version <code>3.1</code>, the <code>dir</code> function
has been rewritten to provide compatibility with MATLAB. The general syntax
for its use is
<PRE>
dir
</PRE>
<P>
in which case, a listing of the files in the current directory are output to the
console. Alternately, you can specify a target via
<PRE>
dir('name')
</PRE>
<P>
or using the string syntax
<PRE>
dir name
</PRE>
<P>
If you want to capture the output of the <code>dir</code> command, you can assign the output
to an array
<PRE>
result = dir('name')
</PRE>
<P>
(or you can omit <code>'name'</code> to get a directory listing of the current directory. The
resulting array <code>result</code> is a structure array containing the fields:
<UL>
<LI> <code>name</code> the filename as a string
</LI>
<LI> <code>date</code> the modification date and time stamp as a string
</LI>
<LI> <code>bytes</code> the size of the file in bytes as a <code>uint64</code>
</LI>
<LI> <code>isdir</code> a logical that is <code>1</code> if the file corresponds to a directory.
</LI>
</UL>
Note that <code>'name'</code> can also contain wildcards (e.g., <code>dir *.m</code> to get a listing of
all FreeMat scripts in the current directory.
